We had a big pool, 18 x 36, built in hot tub & outdoor kitchen for 17 years in Tampa.
Enjoyed them during the kid years. Wouldn't want any of that anymore. Especially not at this age!

A definite Yes to a pool. Advantages. Hygeine, your pool always clean! Using anytime u want, day or night. No love bugs around your pool, piece and quiet to read, but again back to hygeine. No one will pee in your pool and u can't say Seniors don't leak urine, bladder problems, prostate problems, etc. Nothing beats ur own pool

You tend to met more people without a pool.

It is true that you lose some friendship opportunities by having your own pool, but we love it. Nice and clean, not expensive to operate. (we use T&D)and nice to jump in after a warm day at the course. You can also get your drinks and snacks in your own home and you don't have to worry about some people saving 10 to 12 chairs for guests at the Country Club pools. We never had a pool up north so this is a treat and we use it all year long. Go for it!

Great
We put a pool in last year...so worth the money! BUT we hate our pool company...All Seasons! They lied to us many times and will not come back and fix warranty items! Buyer Beware!

I liked our pool when I was kid, lived with my grandpa and down the road was old rock quarry. The limestone keep the water crystal clear and it was 28 foot off three sides. With about 60 to 90 foot bank on one side for diving. Get tire of swimming would go fishing. But, like trot in clear clean river you had to sneak up on them due to the clear water. IMO Beat the heck out of any cement pool. |

I bought a Plug & Play Hot Tub from FL Pool & Spa. Absolutely love it. Low maintenance and economical. Perfect for relaxing in the evenings.

Pool or no Pool?
Suggest you talk to friends with pools and get their opinion both pro and con. From the posts it is very much a personal opinion. I liken it to boating (a hole in the water to which you throw money) so be prepared for the costs...initial high cost of purchase, chemicals, maintenance, filters, pump energy cost, etc. There is also the issue of resale. I have been told a pool adds no value to your house and even limits potential buyers. But you also have the benefits...privacy while swimming, set temperature as you like it, can swim whenever you like, have pool parties, pool attire your choice. I have a pool and a boat and my wife and I love both. Although, we have friends that would not want either.

This thread is getting to be like gas -vs- electric carts. Get the the pool, don’t get the pool everybody has a different opinion. So, get the d###n pool and live with your decision

We use our pool right up to January......we have a gas heater with solar back up (or visa versa).....we keep the pool at 84.
We usually shut down the heating in Jan/Feb....to cold to be out with no clothes on. We decided many years ago to not do the public body parts stew pots...pools! |

We all swim laps every day except when the water temp drops below 82. We have solar panels but have never used the propane. Like Bille said. It is chilly at certain times.
